A bunch of screenshots allegedly from DOOM 4 have surfaced, you can view these over on All Games Beta where they add: "Rumor: Doom 4 cancelled" with no further explanation. This doesn't seem a very substantial rumor, but Game Informer's Jim Reilly tweets it was worthy of debunking: "Bethesda says Doom 4 is not canceled" (thanks Xbox 360 - The Official Magazine). This is not the first rumor about d Software's upcoming shooter sequel that parent Bethesda has addressed in recent months, as in October they denied reports that the game was indefinitely postponed due to problems with the launch of RAGE.

Doom 3 had the Turbo Turkey Puncher arcade game that referenced the original Doom's graphics, Rage had the hidden Wolfenstein room (among others) and Quake had that hidden puffer fish that referenced Commander Keen.

So, basically, you don't know what you're talking about

Um, no, I rather think it's you who are missing something... I already said it would be perfectly expected for them to put a reference to Doom in a DIFFERENT game of theirs (such as Rage)... But, putting a Doom reference in a Doom game? Tacky, lame, and immersion breaking... References to OTHER games? Fine; you're not playing those games right now!
